A vandal attempted to set fire to the altar of the Church of Saints Bassiano and Fereolo in Lodi, a city of 45,000 in Lombardy, in northern Italy.

“Fortunately. I think the fire went out by itself,” Father Elia Croce, the parish priest, said after the June 16 incident. He said that an altar cloth was burnt, but “there was no serious damage” to the altar.

Jun. 29 Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles, Solemnity

Posted on 06/29/2026 00:00 AM (Catholic Culture Liturgical Year)

Today the Church universally celebrates the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles (d. 64-67). This is a holyday of obligation in some countries. Veneration of the two great Apostles, Saints Peter and Paul, has its roots in the very foundations of the Church. They are the solid rock on which the Church is built, the origin of her faith and will forever remain her protectors and her guides. To them Rome owes her true greatness, for it was under God's providential guidance that they were led to make the capital of the Empire, sanctified by their martyrdom, the center of the Christian world whence should radiate the preaching of the Gospel.

From today's Gospel: Jesus said to his apostles: "Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." (Matt 10:37-39).
